Cuddles the P.ornata molted today.
I thought she had already molted in her webbing as hadn’t seen her for a while, and then she came out a couple of days ago.
Was a little worried as today I was moving all the pets into my new Zoo Room and only spotted her mid molt after I’d moved her.
Luckily it looks like she molted okay despite the disturbance.

It seems that a few of my tarantulas decided to synch up and molt at the same time.

Super tiny Pseudhapalopus sp. blue came out with the first bits of blue color. She had been a dull brown. She's still very, very small, but she's starting to grow now.

My Avicularia avicularia molted. I had a feeling this one was coming. She had been running laps around her enclosure and was super active, then suddenly got into her web tube and just hunkered down and did very little. I was hoping for a molt and not a death. Thankfully it was the former!

My OBT, also secure in a web tube, ended up molting. I feared death at first, but then I saw a seperate ball of legs moving around and the molt became more clear.

It's hard to see because she's been at the bottom of this enclosure since the first week, but there's definitely a molt and a spider in that little cave. She's still sealed off in the bottom and refuses to come out, but she's moving around just fine so far, and it's good to see that she was in a premolt.

Not a bad day so far!
